why
Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane, to test a parachute?
Why would anyone drive a motorcycle at 170MPH plus on an interstate? (two were caught here in alabama doing that a month ago)
Why would anyone climb a 2000 foot vertical rock wall?
Why would anyone brave hypoxia, hypothermia, to climb to the top of a mountain?
We humans are actually a stupid lot...
For those playing a lot longer than I have, one more:
Why would anyone count cards in a casino, risking getting backroomed or hauled off into the middle of the desert?
